Banks Power releases the iDash 1.8 Super Gauge & DataMonster and it is brilliant. From an engineering standpoint, this compact gauge is basically a computer software that monitors and calculates your vehicle’s performance in real-time.
In other words, if the device were to be monitoring you it would have shown an increase in your heart rate when you opened this article with excitement. In this hypothetical situation, it would also tell you that your cholesterol levels are stellar and to keep up the outdoor lifestyle.
From an off-roading fanatic’s viewpoint, there are countless ways this device would come in handy or even define how well a driver is able to perform. Being aware of your vehicles health and performance stats ultimately leads to vehicle longevity. Whether you’re a professional in off-road racing or simply like to get muddy in the hills after work, knowing what is going on under the engine will yield better driving skills, vehicle performance, and preventative maintenance decisions.
The Super Gauge will track information such as EGT, AFR, RPM, and engine temperature. Choose up to 8 parameters to display on each gauge and set custom alarms. Not only will you have real-time stats on your dashboard, but the iDash 1.8 will also log highly accurate information about your vehicle’s performance that you didn’t think was accessible.
Perhaps your latest project involves a custom engine rebuild for your latest rock crawler? With a 4GB SD card, the iDash can log an entire month’s worth of information spanning up to 100 parameters. This is the perfect opportunity to see how your new build performs compared to the old motor. Knowing this information can be used to make adjustments and fine tune specific components.
These stats can be used to show massive improvements made or even to find out where your vehicle needs improvements. The iDash 1.8 Super Gauge will come in handy whether you’re a rock crawler, trail explorer, or professional in offroad racing!
